In addition to its single urn entry units, niches that can store two urns can go for up to $76,000 (HK$598,000), while family units that can house the ashes of up to eight people reach as much as $430,000 (HK$3.38 million).
This privately run high-rise columbarium, housed in a wavy, fan-shaped building designed by a German architect, is meant to store the cremated remains of 23,000 people. They are meant for a more discerning type of customer altogether, one seeking that little something extra: a resting spot for the afterlife. Considering the spacesuits on the ISS are so old, it will be intriguing to see new suits put into action once they’re perfected.Starting at $53,000 for a space not much larger than a shoebox, it is a pricey place to stay, even in a city famed for the world’s most expensive property market.īut then the ornate white marble interiors of the 12 story Shan Sum tower in Hong Kong are not aimed at your average sort of buyer.
Both companies are expected to provide NASA with full suit capabilities through 2034 when the current period of performance ends. The new tasks will see Axiom Space and Collins Aerospace expanding the usage of their current suit systems. Additionally, offering these tasks to multiple companies continues to breed a strong and competitive commercial space industry, which will be important for long-term expansion. It’s a great moment, honestly, as both companies will have a chance to create something amazing with their next-generation spacesuits, and NASA will be able to choose which suit works best for the purpose they need to fill. Each spacesuit will also be assessed to see how it handles usage in different gravitational fields and more.
NASA says that both of the vendor’s assessments will provide the space agency with more insight and also redundancy for the use of their different suit systems, both in low-Earth orbit and on the lunar surface. Additionally, having more companies working on similar projects will provide NASA with different options to choose from and will also help push innovation in those areas. With Axiom now shifting to working on spacewalk spacesuits, though, we’ll perhaps see them getting something ready that will see more immediate use than those that will be used during Artemis missions which are still several years out.
